Beginners Leaf Lace Scarf Pattern

August 11th, 2010 |

Author: Cathy

Beginner knitters are always terrified at the thought of tackling a lace project. Really, if you have mastered the basics of knit, purl, yarn over and knitting 2 stitches together you are ready for a nice easy lace scarf.

I must warn you though, knitting lace can get addictive! Once you have completed your first piece, you will want to try more and more.

You will want to experiment with all different types of lace weight yarn as well as knitting lace with heavier weight yarn. I have just ordered some lovely silk/cashmere yarn in a creamy off white color on eBay and my fingers are just twitching waiting to get started as soon as it arrives. I plan on knitting this very pattern for my daughter for Christmas.
